Building and construction industryWorking in the building and construction industry is a risky business. Contractors,subcontractors and their workers face risks from hazards that must be managed to prevent deaths,injuries and illness.The Workplace Health and Safety Regulation 2008 clearly states the way workplace health andsafety risks from certain hazards must be managed. The regulations cover:• principal contractor construction safety plans• work method statements for high-risk construction activities, demolition work and asbestosremoval• general and site-specific induction• housekeeping practices• safety of plant provided for common use• excavations (including trenches)• working at heights (including work on roofs, from ladders and trestle ladder platforms, andwork to erect or dismantle scaffolding)• protecting the public and workers from falling objects• amenities.On-the-spot fines are attached to the regulations. The amount of fines reflects the severity of thebreach.DefinitionsWhat is construction work?Work is construction work if it is:(a) work to erect, construct, extend, alter, convert, fit-out, commission, renovate, repair,refurbish, disassemble or decommission a structure, or part of a structure; or(b) work connected with site preparation, excavation and landscaping for work mentioned inparagraph (a); or(c) the assembly or installation of prefabricated components to form a structure, or part of astructure, for work mentioned in paragraph (a); or(d) the disassembly of prefabricated components for work mentioned in paragraph (a) that,immediately before the disassembly, formed a structure or part of a structure; or(e) an activity that is a prescribed activity.What is a structure?Structure means:(a) a building, construction, wall, mast, tower, pylon, structural cable or telecommunicationsstructure; or(b) an underground works (including shafts and tunnels), pipe, pipeline, sea defence works, riverworks, earthworks or earth retaining construction or other construction designed to preserveor alter a natural feature; orWorkplace Health and Safety Queensland, Department of Justice and Attorney-GeneralHandbook Building and construction industry Workplace Health and Safety GuidePN10129 Version 3 Last updated May 20113

(c) a road or highway, footpath or driveway, railway line or siding, tramway line, airfield, dockor harbour, water storage or supply system (including a constructed lagoon), sewerage ordrainage system, electricity or gas generation facility, transmission or distribution facility,gasholder, park or recreation ground (including, for example, a golf course, playing field,racecourse or swimming pool); or(d) production, storage or distribution facilities for heavy industries; or(e) fixed plant; or(f) a ship or submarine; or(g) formwork, falsework, scaffold or other construction designed or used to provide support,access or containment during construction work.Civil construction work – construction of roads, highways, railways, harbours, water storage orsupply systems, sewerage or drainage systems, electricity or gas generation, transmission ordistribution structures, parks or recreational grounds, production, storage and distributionfacilities for heavy industry, refineries, pumping stations or mines and the construction orstructural alteration of bridges and the erection of telecommunications structures.Demolition work – demolition or systematic dismantling of a building or other structure, or partof a building or other structure, not including the systematic dismantling of a part of a building orother structure for alteration, maintenance, remodelling or repair.Housing construction work - work to erect, construct, extend or structurally alter:(a) any of the following dwellings that is not located above or below another dwelling oranother part of a building, other than a private garage:(i)(ii)a detached house;an attached dwelling, separated from the dwelling to which it is attached by a fireresistingwall, for example, a terrace house or town house;(iii) a boarding house, guest house, hostel or similar building with a floor area of not morethan 300m2; or(b) a building that is not designed for habitation but is ancillary to one of the above.Principal contractor for construction work(1) The principal contractor for construction work, other than prescribed construction work, isthe person appointed by the client as the principal contractor for the construction work undersection 184A.(2) If the client does not appoint a principal contractor for the construction work, the client istaken to be the principal contractor for the construction work.(3) The principal contractor for prescribed construction work is the person who is in control ofthe prescribed construction work.Note—For construction work for which there is no client and that is not prescribed construction work, there is no principalcontractor.Relevant person - A person who conducts a business or undertaking has an obligation to ensurethe workplace health and safety of the person, each of the person’s workers and any otherpersons is not affected by the conduct of the relevant person’s business or undertaking.Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, Department of Justice and Attorney-GeneralHandbook Building and construction industry Workplace Health and Safety GuidePN10129 Version 3 Last updated May 20114

Construction safety plansA documented plan for the construction work can assist the principal contractor to managerelevant workplace health and safety obligations.A principal contractor must prepare a construction safety plan before construction work starts.The plan must state:• workplace address• name and address of the principal contractor• principal contractor’s ABN• whether there is a WHS committee• whether there is a WHSO appointed• expected start date• estimated duration of the work• type of construction• common plant to be provided• site rules• the risks the principal contractor is obligated to manage• proposed control measures for the risks• how the controls will be implemented• arrangements for monitoring and reviewing controls• emergency procedures, and• public safety strategies.The plan must be:• written so it is easy to understand• signed and dated by the principal contractor• available for the length of the project.The principal contractor must sign and date work method statements that have been received andkeep them with the plan, as well as monitor their implementation.The principal contractor cannot allow work to start unless the plan:• has been discussed with or a copy given to all relevant persons employers and self-employedpersons• is available or readily available for inspection.The plan must be amended if there are changes in how risks will be managed. The principalcontractor must inform any affected person of the change.Work method statementsWork method statements assist a subcontractor to consider how certain activities will be carriedout safely.Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, Department of Justice and Attorney-GeneralHandbook Building and construction industry Workplace Health and Safety GuidePN10129 Version 3 Last updated May 20115

A subcontractor doing construction work needs to prepare a work method statement for thesehigh-risk activities:(a) where a person is:(i) required to enter a trench more than 1.5 metres deep;(ii) using explosives other than powder-actuated handheld fastening tools;(iii) using a confined space; or(iv) using a hazardous substance.(b) if a person could fall:(i) at least 3 metres for housing construction; or(ii) at least 2 metres for other construction.(c) working on a roof surface or partly completed roof surface, with a slope greater than 26°(d) the activity is:(i) a prescribed activity (i.e. demolition work as defined in the Workplace Health andSafety Act 1995 or work to remove friable asbestos containing material); or(ii) demolition work that is not a prescribed activity.(e) the activity consists of:(i) tilt-up and precast construction work; or(ii) structural alterations that require temporary support to prevent collapse; or(iii) the movement of powered mobile plant at the workplace; or(iv) work on a telecommunications tower; or(v) work in, over or adjacent to water if there is a risk of drowning; or(vi) work on, or adjacent to, a road or railway; or(vii) work on or near a pressurised gas distribution mains and consumer piping; or(viii) work on or near a chemical, fuel or refrigerant line; or(ix) work near an exposed energised electrical installation; or(x) work in an area that may have a contaminated or flammable atmosphere; or(xi) work in an area where there are artificial extremes of temperature.(f) The principal contractor for the construction work reasonably believes the activity couldresult in death or bodily harm.The work method statement must take into account the principal contractor’s construction safetyplan and also state:(a) the high-risk construction activity; and(b) the person’s ABN; and(c) the control measures to be used; and(d) the way the activity will be performed; and(e) how the control measures will be monitored and reviewed; and(f) licences for high risk work and earthmoving or particular crane occupations.Work method statements must be easy to understand, signed and dated.6 7The work method statement must be amended if there is a change in the activity and a copygiven to the principal contractor. All persons affected by changes must be advised ofamendments to the work method statement.Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, Department of Justice and Attorney-GeneralHandbook Building and construction industry Workplace Health and Safety GuidePN10129 Version 3 Last updated May 20116

The work method statement must be readily available for inspection. It must also be reviewedeach year and amended if necessary.General inductionAll persons undertaking construction work must hold general induction evidence before the workstarts. General induction provides an opportunity for people working in the industry to gain someunderstanding of the types of hazards likely to be found on construction sites and the way risksfrom these hazards should be managed.General induction evidence means:• A valid statement of attainment or construction induction card issued by a RegisteredTraining Organisation for successfully completing a registered course.Note: As of 1 July 2009, the current general induction unit of competency is CPCCOHS1001A.For more information on organisations approved to deliver the course, telephone 1300 369 915,or visit the website www.worksafe.qld.gov.au for a complete list.Site-specific inductionHaving systems in place at the workplace to ensure people are aware of the specific proceduresand rules for the site will help minimise the risk of death, injury or illness.While site-specific induction is not necessary for workplaces where housing construction work isbeing carried out, it is important nonetheless for the contents of the principal contractor’sconstruction safety plan to be communicated effectively where site-specific induction is notgiven.A principal contractor must ensure a person has had a site-specific induction before that personstarts construction work.The principal contractor must ensure a person entering a part of the workplace whereconstruction work is being done:(a) has been given a site-specific induction; or(b) is accompanied by the principal contractor or someone who has been given a site-specificinduction.The induction needs to address the contents of the construction safety plan, including site rules.The principal contractor must make a record of the people inducted and the date it was given.The record must be kept for the duration of the construction work.8 9SignageWorkplace Health and Safety Queensland, Department of Justice and Attorney-GeneralHandbook Building and construction industry Workplace Health and Safety GuidePN10129 Version 3 Last updated May 20117

The principal contractor must, before construction work starts, ensure that adequate numbers ofgeneral safety signs, having regard to the size and complexity of the workplace, are erected.Appropriate signs may include signs about:• the nature of the workplace• the direction to the site office or site amenities• where first aid and fire extinguishing equipment is kept• the means of access to be kept clear• where hazardous substances are kept• who the principal contractor is• head and foot protection to be worn• authorisations required for the site.The principal contractor must keep the signs in good condition.Safe housekeeping practicesPrincipal contractors play an important role in ensuring the orderly conduct of a constructionworkplace.The principal contractor must ensure safe housekeeping practices including:• appropriate, safe and clear access to and from the workplace• safe systems for collecting, storing and disposing of excess or waste materials• adequate space for storing materials or plant.A subcontractor must implement and maintain the safe housekeeping practices that apply to theirwork including:• managing risks from protruding objects such as exposed nails or vertical reinforcing steel• providing and maintaining appropriate lighting for the work being done.Subcontractors must ensure their workers on site are instructed to follow the safe housekeepingpractices.Common plantCommon plant is plant provided by the principal contractor for use by another person at theworkplace, e.g. scaffolding, switchboards.A principal contractor must ensure common plant is safe for the purpose for which it is providedand that it is maintained.The principal contractor must comply with any requirements about the plant in Part 20 of theWorkplace Health and Safety Regulation 2008. A subcontractor or worker using the plant mustensure all requirements about its safe use are complied with.Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, Department of Justice and Attorney-GeneralHandbook Building and construction industry Workplace Health and Safety GuidePN10129 Version 3 Last updated May 20118

Underground servicesBefore excavation work starts, if there is a principal contractor appointed, or if no principalcontractor has been appointed then each relevant subcontractor must:(a) find out what underground services exist at or near the location of the excavation(b) obtain relevant information about the service (location, type, depth, restrictions to befollowed) from the appropriate source(c) record the information in writing(d) keep the information recorded until the construction work ends.Dial 1100 Before You Dig is a useful service.Ensure this information is considered in planning the work and decide on and use controlmeasures to prevent people being exposed to the risk of death, illness or injury from coming incontact with, or damage to, the service.Excavations(including trenches)A relevant subcontractor must manage the risks associated with:• an excavation collapsing• objects falling into an excavation• a person falling into an excavation,• a person being exposed to carbon monoxide or other impurity of the air in the excavation.A relevant subcontractor must decide on and use appropriate control measures and maintain thecontrol measures necessary to prevent, or minimise the level of, exposure to the risk.A relevant subcontractor must implement any control measures necessary to prevent risk fromthe collapse of another structure such as an adjoining building or road.A barricade or hoarding at least 900 mm must be erected around an excavation unless it isimpracticable or no person is likely to be in the vicinity of the excavation.The relevant subcontractor must erect a barricade at least 900 mm high around a trench unless itis impracticable, or only workers involved with the trench will be in the area; or another form ofbarrier exists, e.g. excavated materials near the trench.A relevant subcontractor needs to ensure that if a person is entering a trench more than 1.5metres deep, one of the following control measures is implemented:(a) has shoring or shielding; or(b) is benched – not higher than it is wide and no vertical face exceeding 1.5 metres; or(c) is battered – angle not exceeding 45° and bottom vertical face not exceeding 1.5 metres; or(d) is approved in writing by an geo-technical engineer as safe to work in.Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, Department of Justice and Attorney-GeneralHandbook Building and construction industry Workplace Health and Safety GuidePN10129 Version 3 Last updated May 20119

A geo-technical engineer must provide written approval to vary the benching and batteringrequirements. The approval must be kept on site at all times.Ladders used for access must be no more than nine metres apart in the area of the trench wherework will be carried out.Work at heights(excluding work on ladders or trestle ladder platforms and scaffolding work)If there is a risk of fall of less than three metres in housing construction work or less than twometres in other construction work, or if work is on a roof surface or partly completed roofsurface, with a slope not over 26°, the subcontractor who intends to do the work must identifyeach hazard and assess the risk as a result of the hazard before work starts.Hazards that may present a risk from a fall include:• vertical reinforcing steel, the edge of a rubbish skip, a picket fence, or a stack of bricksbelow workers• unsheeted floor bearers and joists two metres below workers• work on a brittle roof two metres above a floor.12 13Factors such as the type of activity being carried out should be taken into consideration toestablish the degree of risk.Control measures used to manage risks must comply with regulatory requirements.A subcontractor carrying out work above these heights, or on a roof surface or partly completedroof surface, with a slope over 26° must:• prevent a fall; or• if prevention is not practicable, arrest the fall and prevent or minimise the risk of death orinjury from the arrest of the fall.The controls could include:• edge protection• fall protection cover (includes an enclosed environment)• fall arresting platform• travel restraint system• fall-arrest harness system; or• industrial safety net.Refer to Part 20 of the Workplace Health and Safety Regulation 2008 for the specificrequirements for these controls.Single or extension laddersSingle or extension ladders may only be used to:Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, Department of Justice and Attorney-GeneralHandbook Building and construction industry Workplace Health and Safety GuidePN10129 Version 3 Last updated May 201110

(a) gain access; or(b) carry out permitted work – where the material or equipment being carried does not restrictmovement or cause loss of balance;(c) the trunk of the body remains centred on the ladder; and(d) equipment can be used with one hand (unless a control to prevent a fall is used).A person using a ladder for access or permitted work must either:(a) have three points of substantial contact with the ladder or a stable object, e.g. standing on theladder with two feet while holding a fascia board or timber stud(b) prevent falls with a control measure, e.g. a pole strap; or(c) use a fall-arrest harness system (not attached to the ladder).The ladder must have a load rating of not less than 120 kg and be:(a) secured against movement at or near its top or bottom, e.g. by tying or clamping;(b) manufactured for industrial use;(c) used only for the designed purpose;(d) not more than 6.1 metres for a single ladder;(e) not more than 9.2 metres for an extension ladder used for electrical work or 7.5 metres forother work;(f) on a firm and stable surface;(g) placed at an angle between 70° and 80°; and(h) extended at least one metre above a surface being accessed.Trestle ladder platformsPlatforms used on trestle ladders below three metres for housing construction or two metres forother construction work must be 450 mm wide unless the work is light work.Examples of light work include:• painting, installing a roof gutter, air-conditioning duct, metal fascia or lighting• placing pine roof trusses in position• performing inspections or tests• installing an electrical connection.Fixing plasterboard sheeting to an internal stairwell void, fixing cladding to a gable end of a roofor using a medium or heavy duty angle grinder or circular saw are not considered light work.For work on a trestle ladder at three metres or more for housing construction work or two metresor more for other construction work:• the trestle ladder must have edge protection along the outer length of the platform• control measures must be put in place where:− there is a risk of a person falling off the edge of each end of the platform, or− the gap between the inner edge of the platform and the face of a building/structure isgreater than 225 mmWorkplace Health and Safety Queensland, Department of Justice and Attorney-GeneralHandbook Building and construction industry Workplace Health and Safety GuidePN10129 Version 3 Last updated May 201111

• each trestle ladder must be secured to prevent it moving, e.g. tying the ladder to a sturdy wallor bracing it to the ground• the platform must have an unobstructed surface width of 450 mm; and• be not higher than five metres.Erecting and dismantling scaffoldingA person erecting or dismantling scaffolding three metres or more in housing construction workor two metres or more in other construction work must:• be prevented from falling• use a fall-arrest harness system; or• immediately install platforms, edge protection and a means of access as each level is erected;and• retain a full deck of platform until the platforms are transferred.Falling objectsA principal contractor must ensure appropriate control measures are used to prevent, or minimisethe level of, exposure to the risk of falling objects on the construction site and onto adjoiningareas such as a public footpath, road, square or the yard of a dwelling or other building beside aworkplace.Housing and civil construction workA principal contractor or subcontractor must assess the risk from falling objects and use controlsto prevent or minimise the risks from falling objects. The controls chosen must comply with anyregulatory requirements.Construction work other than housing or civilA principal contractor or subcontractor must implement one of the following controls based onthe angle between the highest point where work is to be carried out and the line where the controlwill be put:• barricade or hoarding at least 900 mm high ≤ 15°• hoarding at least 1800 mm high > 15° and ≤ 30°• fully sheeted hoarding at least 1800 mm high > 30°, and• if the angle is equal to or more than 75° and not demolition work or work erecting ordismantling formwork:− erect a gantry; close the adjoining area, or− erect a catch platform with vertical sheeting, or− perimeter screening.The principal contractor or subcontractor must close the adjoining area or erect perimetercontainment screening where demolition work or work erecting or dismantling formwork isbeing carried out.Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, Department of Justice and Attorney-GeneralHandbook Building and construction industry Workplace Health and Safety GuidePN10129 Version 3 Last updated May 201112

However, if permission to close the adjoining area is withheld and perimeter containmentscreening cannot be erected, the principal contractor or subcontractor must ensure that anothercontrol measure is implemented to prevent objects falling on or otherwise hitting members of thepublic.The public must be kept out of an adjoining area where loads are being lifted, unless a gantry,that would withstand the force of the load if it fell, has been provided.Refer to Part 20 of the Workplace Health and Safety Regulation 2008 for specific requirementson control measures for protecting persons from falling objects.AmenitiesA principal contractor must ensure workers have reasonable access to a room or sheltered area toeat meals or take breaks. The area must:• present no health or safety risk• be hygienic• have adequate space, seating and facilities for washing and storing utensils, boiling waterand storing food in a cool place if there are 15 or more workers at the site.Principal contractors must ensure workers have reasonable access to toilets. Reasonable accessfor a civil construction workplace would be a toilet in the workplace site compound boundariesand for other construction workplaces, within the workplace site boundaries.There must be one toilet available for each 15, or part number of workers. A toilet connected tosewerage, a septic system, a pump-out holding tank storage type system (‘connected’) or aportable toilet is acceptable for a workplace with fewer than 15 workers. However, if the numberof the workers increases and the toilet provided was portable, it must be replaced by a connectedtoilet within two weeks after the number of workers has increased. A workplace with four ormore levels must have a toilet on the ground and fourth floor and every third floor thereafter.Toilets must:• be in a cubicle or room fitted with a door and located in a position that allows privacy• have fresh air• be equipped with sanitary disposal facilities if used by female construction workers, and• be separated so that urinals are not visible to female workers.The principal contractor must ensure workers have access to washing facilities. The facilitiesmust be separate from toilets if there are no separate toilet facilities for females.Examples of washing facilities include:• a hose at a housing construction site, a water container with a tap at a road construction site• wash basins provided with portable or connected toilets at a high rise building constructionsite.Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, Department of Justice and Attorney-GeneralHandbook Building and construction industry Workplace Health and Safety GuidePN10129 Version 3 Last updated May 201113

Employers must ensure workers have access to drinking water that has been supplied by theprincipal contractor from a source other than toilet, hand or face washing facilities. Reasonableaccess for a housing construction site would be within 30 metres from where the work is beingcarried out and for a high rise building, access on the ground level and every second level of thebuilding.Employers must provide workers with reasonable access to appropriate and adequate first aidequipment. A self-employed person is responsible for ensuring reasonable access to appropriateand adequate first aid equipment.Other hazardsInformation on how to manage other hazards in the building and construction industry can befound in the Workplace Health and Safety Regulation 2008 and other relevant codes of practice.More informationFurther information is available from www.worksafe.qld.gov.au or by calling the WHS Infolineon 1300 369 915.Copies of this booklet are available from your nearest regional office.
